Solved .DS_Store Help Mac?

Can anyone tell me how to delete all the .DS_Store files from my project
It compiles with them no matter what
I've tried the "defaults write...TRUE" to show hidden files and then delete them...doesn't work


Any suggestions?

Ya...I ain't admin

 

If you can't sudo through terminal, then there isn't a way to get rid of them effectively.

 

Get a Windows system? After all, you never have problems like that with them(and they're cheaper).

But why don't you just delete them?

Dpasi314 Hrmmmmmmmm....Shell script? I can try that...if you tell me what to write

This used to happen to me also. You just need to unselect it, it will never pop up again.

 

MayoDwarf Unselect doesn't work.

 

You don't need to run the delete command as sudo as long as the user that is executing the command has write permission to the directory. It is a bad idea to go through the entire drive and to delete all .DS_Store files anyways.

JHG0 Instead you can use find to delete every .DS_Store in your current directory

Code:

cd /path/to/project
find . -name '.DS_Store' -delete

 

Y'ouch... $2000 down the drain.

Deleting them in the project does nothing? Eclipse for Mac may have some custom properties for their folders, I suppose.

 

Not really. They are still great computers. I mean, I myself prefer windows (Love my surface pro 2), yet I still own tons of apple products in my house. Anyway let's not start a windows vs macs thread here.

It's not exactly the software I'm having the issue with, it's the hardware/price. The hardware is interesting. Silent, but not quite so good. I, myself, own 5 Apple products(1 iPod nano, 2 iTouches, 1 iPhone, and 1 iPad). They are ruling the portable device business, but not so much the desktop/laptop. If only Android could be a little better..

Yay....Thanks! It works
A weird thing is that in 10-30 seconds, the .DS_Store reloads back...so you have to do it quick

Here is the answer again for future reference:

Code:

cd /path/to/project
find . -name '.DS_Store' -delete

 

Like a said, if you don't want .DS_Store files, don't look at it with finder

Can you upload files via the dev or here?
I want to post a Cleaner shell script I made

 

No, if you want to share a shell script, just put the contents here or on github.

Execute the file with terminal once to give permissions to the file

 

To be honest, I haven't seen near as many illogical and un-intuitive things on mac as I have on windows. Regardless, this is more of a problem with Eclipse than OSX.
